Title, and I don’t care what you say about “waaa, the course is short.” He was 4:28 at the first mile and basically alone. Should be a great year for him. Also, Newbery Park’s lineup is a bit insane this year, I believe they took 1 & 2, and their seventh runner was 14:44.
Newberry park also beats great oak 36 to 69
My lord, Nico Young. I don't know what to say.

My gooodness!
Regardless of what the sad fools on this forum say, woodbridge is one of the most constistently accurately measured 3 mile courses in the state, and nobody has ever run under 13:40 at that meet. In fact, nobody has ever run under 13:50, in any of the courses used. Get ready for a big year in California, because while he is the biggest, Nico Young is far from the only stud in the state.

Great Oak’s top 5 returners from last year were their 3rd-7th finishers today. The GO winner of the Boys All Rated Varsity race ran faster than one of them.

I mean yesterday, not today
Thought NP had a chance to take down GO and clearly the answer is yes. Amazing 1-2 and his freshmen brother dropped 14:24 (stud with his twin in the making). Nico has a chance at Fernandez State XC corse Record. I think NP should be considered favorite to win NXN now with that up front depth. Bronsan has that team rolling. Should be a really fun year to watch.
Sorry 14:37 brother but still super fast!

Their track times last spring don't support those type of times. The 5th fastest 3200 runner was around 10:00.

Something is off in your analysis. We know what Young was capable of in the Spring (8:40) or 80 seconds faster than your "5th fastest 3200 runner". Whoever was 5th runner yesterday was within about 60 seconds of Young for 3 miles or whatever the course is. I suspect the 5th runner is different, or more likely has improved a lot over the summer, or perhaps was better than 10:00 in the Spring. Or perhaps all 3. But we know 2 things - Nico is really fast, and their 5th runner was within 1 minute of him yesterday. That would make the 5th runner roughly as fast as LV's 5th runner at NXN last year. Which means NP is looks really good for NXN.
Apparently the team moved to altitude this summer. Big improvements make sense. I know college teams that don't spend a month at training camp.

They have said in interviews they spent 4 weeks at Altitude. That is not long enough to feel the effects today. It would be more of a team bonding environment then anything.
That run last night was impressive.
Where is Nico going to end up going to school next year?

It's not about whether they are feeling the effects of being at altitude. It's about just training for four weeks. What happened to kids having jobs during the summer?

There was no "analysis"; I just looked at a list. Young's time is 14:08 pace which is ridiculously fast for a race in September.
Thomas McDonnell ran 4:52 as a Sophomore and 14:44 yesterday.

Their 5th runner ran 9:46 as a frosh and ran 15:22 and 15:26 for 5k this year already. This result is not surprising but very good nonetheless.

Wherever he wants.

I guess that’s the price you need to pay to be the tops in the nation. Month long training camps, running twice a day and all of the other crazy things we probably have no idea that go on.
A month is a looong time for a high schooler (especially a frosh or sophomore) to be away from home.
Big sacrifices usually result in big results, especially when talent is involved.
Most college programs aren’t as serious. It will be interesting to see how some of these kids do at the next level.

About 99% of the runners who broke 9:00 in HS history did not spend a month running at altitude during the summer. It makes no difference. Having a camp might motivate some of the kids to run more than they would have on their own, but that's about it.
